STAND-LAMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 320,476, dated June 23,1885.

Application filed March 2, 18E5.

o all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, NICHOLAS JENKINS, of Waterbury, county of New Haven,and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful ImprovementinStand'Lamps, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My improvement relates to lamp-reservoirs made of metal. y

The object of my improvement is to provide i@ a simple and ornamentalmeans whereby pendants may be supported around the reservoirs.

The improvement consists in a new article of manufacture composing thefollowing elements, to wit: A metal reservoir having a cylindric middleportion and an inwardly-ex tending lower portion, a band ot' metalsecured to the cylindric portion, extending below the cylindric portionaround the inwardly-extending lower portion, and provided with perfo- 2Orations below the cylindric portion for the reception of the hooks oranalogous fastenings of pendants.

The accompanying drawing is a partly sectional side view of a lampembodying my improvement.

A designates the pedestal of the lamp, which may be of any desirableconstruction.

B designates an oil-reservoir, made of metal. It issupported bythepedestal A, and between 3o it and the pedestal are arranged a drip-cup,

C, and a perforated air-distributer, D.

E designates the burner-tube, wh ich, as here shown, is of the Argandtype, although its form is immaterial so far as the present improvementis concerned. It is provided with wick-adjusting mechanism a, with anair-distributer, b, and deflectors c d. The reservoir B has at themiddle an eXternally-cylindric portion, e. Below this cylindric portione the 4o reservoir extends or recedes inwardly.

(No model.)

G designates a band of metal arranged around the cylindric portion e ofthe reservoir and secured thereto by solder or otherwise. It may beornamented to suit the taste. Its lower edge is shown as scalloped. Itscontig` uration may, however, be varied. Close to thelower edge areperforations f. These perforations are below the cylindric portion e ofthe reservoir and opposite the inwardly-ex- O tending lower portion. 5o

By combining with a reservoir having a cylindric portion and aninwardlyextending lower portion a strip depending below'the cylindrcportion ot' the reservoir, and providing said strip with perforationsbelow the cy- 53 lindrc portion of the reservoir, I provide a spacebetween the perforated portion of the strip and the reservoir which willaccommodate hooks or other fastenings of pendants without entailing thecontact thereof with the reservoir; hence provision for a freeadjustmeut of the pendants is afforded.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

A new article of manufacture, 'comprising 65 the following elements, towit: a metal reservoir having an external]y-cylindric portion and aninwardly extending or receding lower portion, and a strip secured to thecylindric portion extending below the eylindric portion and providedbelow the cylindric portion and t opposite the inwardly-extendingportion of the reservoir with perforations for receiving hooks orfastenings of pendants.
